Without incident response and forensics capabilities, you will never understand what’s really going on ... It’s only through incident response that you will get the necessary technical indicators and understand the kill chain. This information can then be fed to your threat intelligence structure.

Dmitry Volkov
CEO, Head of Threat Intelligence Team,
Сo-founder of Group-IB
In 2003, as a first-year student at Russia’s leading engineering university the Moscow State Technical University of N.E. Bauman, Dmitry co-founded Group-IB, a cyber investigations startup back then. Seventeen years on the company has evolved into one of the cybersecurity leaders known for its engineering innovations. Group-IB now protects banks, industrial enterprises, eCommerce giants in more than 60 countries around the world and offers solutions in Threat and Fraud Hunting, Threat Intelligence & Attribution, Digital Risk Protection categories. The company’s services, however, continue to play an important role feeding Group-IB Threat Hunting ecosystem, distributed across Singapore, Amsterdam, Hanoi, Moscow, Bahrain and other locations, with unique battlefield cyberthreat intel.
Dmitry is the mastermind behind most of Group-IB’s products. From day one, he has been a prominent voice leading Group-IB toward becoming the go-to expert in threat hunting and intelligence. His team successfully conducted the first and later on the most complicated cyber investigations and DFIR engagements. They have helped identify and track most notorious threat actors, including Cobalt, Silence, MoneyTaker, Lazarus, etc.
The threat actor-centric approach formed the basis of Group-IB’s Threat Intelligence & Attribution – the vascular system of all Group-IB’s products and solutions and a brainchild of Dmitry Volkov. He served as Group-IB’s CTO between 2017 and 2021. Despite being named the company’s CEO in 2021, he still prefers to be referred to as the head of Threat Intelligence team.
Mr. Volkov is a recognized visionary leader. In 2015, he was listed by Business Insider as one of the top 7 professionals behind influential security companies. The forecasts made by Dmitry every year in his Hi-Tech Crime Trends report proved to be reliable. They serve as a valuable source of cyber threat insights for cybersecurity teams worldwide.
Dmitry is a great believer in the idea of engineering neutrality and advocate of cyber weapon non-proliferation. In 2013, Dmitry Volkov became a member of the UN Open-ended Intergovernmental Expert Group aimed at conducting a comprehensive study on the problem of global cybercrime. Since 2016 he is a member of the Europol EC3 Advisory Group on Internet Security.
He is a regular speaker at industry’s major events, such as INTERPOL World, CounterMeasure, CyberCrimeCon and many others. Dmitry is a husband and a proud father of two.
Instead, an organization’s cybersecurity should be based on a proactive approach. All the threats targeting an organization are detected at the preparation stage. Modern cybersecurity solutions should not only carry out dynamic and static analysis of potentially malicious files, but also counteract a number of techniques that threat actors use to detect the threat analysis environment and bypass threat detection technologies.

There are millions of indicators like hashes, IPs, certificates. They are the dots, they themselves do not bring you much value, while connecting those dots and attributing them to a specific threat actor is paramount. It gives you a bigger picture and understanding of the depth of the attacks and adversaries’ further intent, based on historical data. Since the very beginning, we have been observing different threat actors and how they bring down some of the highly robust IT infrastructures, which has enabled us to progressively learn, develop an excellent understanding of their behaviour, tools, techniques and practices and formulate security prerequisites needed for resilient and effective cyber defence.
